“Trust in Him at all times, O people. Pour out your hearts before Him, for God is our refuge.”
— Psalm 62:8 (Psalm 62:9 in many Catholic Bibles)

What struck me most when I opened Psalm 62 (61) was this passage:

“Pour out your hearts before Him.”

I couldn’t help but connect these words with He[art]pour, my new exhibition at the View Room.

The word pour out evokes more than pouring liquid. It suggests releasing what is held inside: emotions, sorrow, gratitude, love, fear, and prayer. It is the act of allowing what lives within us to flow freely, without holding back, before the One who is our refuge.

This connects beautifully with my exhibition title, He[art]pour.

Pour — to flow or release.
Outpour — to pour forth abundantly.
Outpouring — an abundant release of emotion, love, prayer, or the Spirit.
Inpouring — something flowing inward.
Overflow — to exceed what can be contained.
Pouring heart — a heart giving itself openly.
Pour your heart out — to express your deepest feelings.
Pour forth — to release or give abundantly.

To pour out one’s heart before God is to surrender, to trust, and to allow everything held inside to flow freely into His presence. No masks, no holding back, no fear of being too much. Just the heart, as it is, pouring itself out before the One who is our refuge.

And perhaps this is what He[art]pour is about: allowing what lives within the heart to become creation, letting the inner flow find its way into the world.

From the heart, we pour out. Into the heart, we receive. And when there is more love than the heart can contain, it overflows.
